dads from Lost Boys by Yr Poetry

There is a light on, in my old room.
I'd race up the stairs to switch it off before my dad got home.
If I keep wasting electricity, he's gonna kill me.

Poor choice of words. Cos dads die first.
It's the great energy expenditure cycle of the universe

And I just realised;
I've lived longer without you than with you alive.
And i don't think you'd like what I've done with my life.

There is a light on (it was just a dream) in my old room.
(the same posters on the walls that I had)
I was always running out, never looking back, when I was seventeen.

And I just realised;
I've lived longer without you than with you alive.
And i don't think you'd like what I've done with my life.

I left a lot of lights on, on purpose.
